KAES Keenections

We were so excited to have the university singers sing last week for chapel. It was also really neat to see that five singers are former KAES graduates. The cherry on top was when Dr. Wall announced that he was offering all KAES students and parents 50% off or buy one get one free tickets to "A Night at the Meyerson" concert this weekend. Look at the flyer for more information or click the link below.

Preschool or PreK Open House will be held at KAES on April 13 starting at 12 pm through 2pm. This will be a great informative event for all parents with 3 and 4 year olds. Parents and guardians will get the chance to meet the classroom teachers, learn about the programs and ask questions in an informative atmosphere. We know these are big decisions and we are here to help.

5th graders traveled to Galvestonn Island for a marine science trip. They had the opportunity to learn the life cycle of Texas endangered fish, travel out in the Galveston Bay and research the health of the bay and even got more dirty disecting local fish. Along the way they were able to see many types of birds, get close to an aligator and pet blue crabs. There was also plenty of great food and games for everyone.

6th grade students spent the week exploring the spiritual theme Chosen to Love. In addition to learning more about God’s love for us and his calling to love others, students also made and launched rockets, went birdwatching, learned how to nature journal, practiced archery, engaged in team building activities, created nature art, made pizza, played disc golf, went ziplining, and learned more about dinosaurs. It was a great opportunity to learn new skills, connect with God through nature, and make new friends.

7th grade had the opportunity to experience what it was like to be a settler in Texas. From washing clothes and making lumber for a home it was no easy task. Students also visted NASA and learned about our more recent history and some of the possibilities of the future.

8th graders got a chance to visit the innovation lab and learn about all the printing and designing options they provide. Each student was able to make their own t-shirt before returning back to the school.
